Straight talk

El Paso wind is a real structural consideration. We plan anchoring and footings accordingly instead of treating a pergola as furniture.

Wood and metal each have trade-offs in this climate. We will walk through maintenance and durability honestly rather than steering you to one answer.

Frequently asked questions

Wood or metal pergola?

Both work in El Paso with the right expectations. Wood needs periodic maintenance under intense sun. Metal handles sun and wind well with less upkeep but a different look and cost. We will lay out the trade-offs for your project.

Do pergolas need permits in El Paso?

Requirements depend on size, attachment, and location on your property. We address permitting questions as part of the project conversation rather than guessing.

Can a pergola go over an existing patio?

Often yes, if the slab and footing situation supports it. We evaluate the existing surface before confirming the approach.
